Repronomics Reading Group "XXX" at MayDayRooms
On Tuesday 14 May, 6.45-9pm, join Jo Harrison and Holly Isard for our third and final Repronomics Reading Group session where we will read #WeStrike: Toward a Political Theory of the Feminist Strike by Verónica Gago.
We have taken excerpts from the first chapter of her book Feminist International: How to Change Everything where Gago explores the history of the strike and its value as a feminist tool of resistance. Gago deploys the women’s strike as both a concept and a collective experience, drawing on her own experience within the context of Argentina and the effectiveness of the annual National Women's Strike. We will use her text to explore what it means to strike, and to ask from what are we striking?
No prior reading required. We will read the text aloud together in the session. If you wish to familiarise yourself with the text beforehand, you can access it here [please note we will be focussing on an abridged version of the first chapter only].
This event is free. If anyone wishes to make a donation to MayDayRooms they can do so here.
